B2B VRM

In the hosting business, it would be great to have RFPs and responses where you could compare providers without knowing their names, then follow up after a first filter.

Large companies have hugely different needs from small companies. So, there will be more than one split than just B2B and B2C.

Indeed, there are many vertical/horizontal distinctions that can and should be pulled apart. We should put as many ideas as we can onto the mailing list and blog: as many use cases, potential businesses, etc. The whole VRM category is extremely large. Lets break it into pieces and get that started.

Dean: ok. Let's get a B2B thread going on the blog.

Access by License Requirements

Everyone wants other people's data in a semantically rich way. Nobody wants to share theirs.

This appears to be a catch-22.

Perhaps there is a Creative Commons approach.

Distinguishing not WHO you are but THAT you are could be very useful. For example, instead of identifying the person in particular, identify the credentials.

This would be open immediately to gaming the situation. And that is the role of the 3rd party identity provider/claims verifier.

There are apparently parallel situations in the semiconductor industry. Shortage expectations can create phantom demand, which implicates expected fulfillment by exacerbating the shortage.

• The Bullwhip Effect (Chris will post)

This resonates with a prior topic of meaningful consquences in the VRM commons.
